"Let your light so shine"

CONSTANCE DAVIS GUNDELFINGER

WHEN heavy mists press on the earth And hide the stars from sight; And damp, cold winds so fiercely shriek Through long-spent hours of night; And a tiny gleam from heaven's dome Shines through the parting shroud, How quickly we do lift our eyes And gaze straight through the cloud To that clear star, whose steadfast light Has shone throughout the storm— Nor wind nor mist nor tempest-touched— But shining through the night!

The dove of healing, sacred, silent prayer,Uplifted on the wings of gratitude,Will soar afar if human need is there,And prove Love's presence, power, and amplitude.
